Sorry for my late response - my week was very busy~ I'm so glad that the weekend is there and I'm also feeling guilty that I let wait many people.

Are you an electrician? :) I can imagine that you have a lot of task there. But why do you hate hospitals? For me, I don't like the atmosphere there and I made a lot of bad experiences. I could say that I lived more in a hospital than at home in my early childhood. I'm glad if I can avoid a visit to those places.

That's really exciting! And I've also heard that a hospitalization in America can be really expensive. For small things like comprehensive blood tests, hearing/see tests ,EKG etc are carried out by doctor's assistants in Germany. But Germany has also alot of doctor offices here - except you're living in a small village.

Urgent Cares sounds interesting - I've seen some German vlogger who works in America and talks about American things (a very exciting topic). One of the topics was the American Healthcare, but I've never heard before of Urgent Cares.

In Germany you can go to the hospital or to the emergency doctor on weekends if you feeling very bad. The last time I felt not so good in general for some reason. I'll make an appoitment for a general check-up.
